As the climate warms up, Seattle’s trees are key to keeping the city cool. Enter the city's Trees for Neighborhoods program: They give away 1,000 trees to residents each summer, and teach them how to take care of the growing giants.

Urban forester Jana Dilley, who founded the program, explains how it works and how to pick the right tree for your yard.
